How Facebook Marketplace fees work
- Selling fee is 5% per shipment with a $0.40 minimum per order.
- Local pickup transactions are FREE — Facebook Marketplace charges no fees when buyers and sellers arrange the pickup locally. This calculator models shipped sales only.
- Payment processing is bundled into the 5% selling fee — there is no separate processing charge.
- Buyers pay shipping at checkout for shipped items; that amount is included in the fee base.
- Marketplace listings are cross-promoted to Facebook News Feed and Instagram for some categories, which increases reach but doesn't change fees.
Frequently asked about Facebook Marketplace fees
Is local pickup on Facebook Marketplace really free?
Yes. Facebook Marketplace charges zero fees on local pickup transactions where the buyer and seller arrange the exchange directly without using Facebook's payment or shipping integration. The 5% fee only applies when you use Facebook's shipping option for delivered orders.
What is the $0.40 minimum fee for?
Facebook applies a minimum fee of $0.40 per order on shipped sales to cover payment processing costs that don't scale with low sale prices. So a $5 sale would normally incur $0.25 (5%), but the minimum of $0.40 applies instead. The minimum only matters for sales under $8.
Are payment processing fees separate on Facebook Marketplace?
No. Unlike eBay or Mercari, Facebook Marketplace bundles payment processing into the 5% selling fee. There's no separate processing charge for sellers — the 5% (or $0.40 minimum) is the all-in cost on shipped sales.
